Getting Professional Help
After running five miles with the baby bird, the rescuer called a hummingbird rehabilitation center in Los Angeles. Because of their efforts, the little hummingbird will be cared for by professionals. Additionally, the center will send updates and photos to the rescuer to let her know when the bird is healthy and ready to fly into the wild. If you find a bird in distress, the best thing to do is contact local wildlife rehabilitators to help you care for the distressed bird.
